Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 499 Behind Their Backs

Rory opened the bag and saw a really stylish and popular floral dress inside. Many women in the upper-class society yearned to have it. A single piece of the dress cost at least thirty thousand. It was very expensive.

A glint flashed across her eyes as she smiled. “This is too expensive, Amelia. I can’t accept this.”

“Take it. I had this specially prepared for you. Consider it part of the thank you gift from me to all of you. If you refuse to accept it, it’ll make me sad.” Amelia blinked and smiled.

“Then… I’ll accept it. Thank you, Amelia.”

After the present-giving session was over, the people in the design department resumed their work. Perhaps it was because they received an expensive gift from her that they were shocked by her astounding wealth. It would take years for them to make enough money to buy the gift she gave them.

Everyone began to have ideas about befriending Amelia. It wasn’t morally pure for them to do that, but reality favored those who had money. Without money, one would have no power and could only bow before those who did. They were jealous of her, but they knew if they could get close to her, they would have a chance to rise to a better position with a higher wage.

That was the reality everyone had to face.

When noon rolled around, Rory finished her work and approached Amelia with a smile. “I’d like to treat you to a meal, Amelia. Consider it my attempt to make up for the regret of not being able to have a meal with you previously.”

Amelia tidied up the documents on her table and replied, “Let’s go, then.”

Just as the both of them walked out of the company, they saw two men heading in their direction. Amelia held her forehead and suggested, “How about we just eat at the cafeteria? The food there is pretty good.”

Before she could head back in while pulling Rory’s hand, one of the men uttered her name.

Instead of stopping, she continued to drag Rory into the company until they vanished from the men’s line of sight.

The two men could only watch her return to the company. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say she had escaped.
